You know this is only for borderline fair/foul balls that are headed over the fence, right?
It's not for the generic fly ball - if you're using this mechanic on the generic fly ball (or even the generic home run), you've misread the intent and you ARE going to miss people missing bases.
PS - who is cutting corners on a fly ball? They will have to be TAGGING UP, won't they?
